Abstract

Improvements to an apparatus for cooling and dispensing water or other beverages are: providing the apparatus with a collapsible bag to facilitate sanitizing the device, providing the apparatus with a chiller configured to prevent thermal stratification and freezeups of the liquid therein, providing the apparatus with a container positioned in a lower portion thereof prevent liquid leakage beneath the unit, providing the apparatus with adaptability for resupply by either bottle or building water supply, and providing the apparatus with a modular structure which can be largely disassembled without tools to facilitate cleaning, maintenance and repair.
